Which of this applies to you?

Answering these takes the parts that are not for you out of The Eagle Scout service project. Nothing is required, nothing is kept on the server, and nothing is ever hidden because a question went unanswered. A step that might apply to you stays on the list and is marked.

Will the project need money from outside the exempt sources?

Contributions from the beneficiary, the candidate, the chartered organization, the candidate's parents, guardians or relatives, and the unit or individuals in it do not need council approval. Anything else does.

Did any work or fundraising begin before the proposal was approved?

The Guide treats this as a real problem with a real answer rather than as a technicality, and the answer is not automatically that the project is lost.

Did the beneficiary and the unit leader approve the finished project?

Both sign the project report. Either may decline, and 9.0.2.13 says what happens then, including the case where a beneficiary simply does not understand the process.
